The Alphabetical Archive

Musicians are listed individually. Search by the artist's last name. Artists commonly referred to by a stage or street name (such as "The Big
Bopper," Freddie Mercury, and Jam Master Jay) are listed under those names. Musicians who performed under a single name (like Aaliyah,
Nico, and Selena) will be found under those single names. There are a few instances where two or more members of the same band perished in a
single incident; you will find those artists listed under the group's name. (Examples are Banda Fugaz, The Bar-Kays,
Chase, Passion Fruit, and The Reba McEntire Band.) One notable exception to this rule is Lynyrd Skynyrd. Members of Skynyrd are listed
individually; although three perished in the 1977 plane crash, another three have since died in unrelated incidents. (The three who died in the
crash are grouped as "Lynyrd Skynyrd" on the Causes of Death and Chronology pages.)
